Product Description

CH 6. The Bill of Rights
The Federalists’ promise to add a bill of rights to the Constitution was fulfilled in 1791 when Congress approved and the states ratified the first ten amendments.
These amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, spell out individual freedoms, protections against government abuse of power, and the rights of citizens accused of crimes.
Since their ratification, the amendments’ broad descriptions of rights have often required interpretation by the courts.
